My son has been frantically trying to suck his hands and fists for the passed couple of days. He is not hungry as will refuse bottle if offered extra.

If it is teething? Anybody know what's good and ok to use on a two month old to give him a bit of relief? He is not into holding or biting on teething rings yet though. TIA X

Re: Teething at nine weeks??

Sounds like he is. They can start teething from an early age. My son is 15 weeks and has started showing the signs, eating his fists suckling his fingers etc and today my sister who is a dental nurs comfirmed it. Ive Been using teething gel and calpol which definitely helps esp when he gets so worked up by the pain. Get some teething rings you can put in the fridge as the cold will be a relief for him.

My son started at 8. Weeks they can start early but still not show until the 6-12 months i tried bonjela but that didn't do much so used natural powder remedies which you can get at boots thats from newborn, don't use calpol unless he had a temperature or is in sever pain with it as if your giving it all the time as it cam go on for days the body gets used to it so when your really needing the calpol for when he's actually unwell it may not be as effective

Thanks for the tips. Not sure he was teething, think he had just discovered his fists he is fifteen weeks tomorrow and just started drooling loads more and actually pinching his gums but so far doesn't seem too pained xx

Re: Teething at nine weeks??

Teething for just 2 months? That far too early but it can be possible. There are rare cases that babies were born with teeth already. Ensure that the baby's hands are always clean and consult the pediatrician for the best teething tips for a baby less than 3 months.
